About these units
Dekastere (dekastere)
The dekastere, equal to 10 steres or 10 cubic meters, is primarily used in forestry for measuring stacked firewood or lumber. In European countries like France, where the stere is still recognized, the dekastere is practical for describing commercial quantities of timber. Many forestry management plans and commercial firewood suppliers use the dekastere to track production and sales. Its size strikes a balance between comprehensibility and practicality, making it useful for both commercial and personal-scale timber transactions.
Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
A cubic centimeter equals 1 mL, representing the volume of a cube 1 cm per side. This dual identity makes it fundamental in medicine, laboratory science, and engineering. In medicine, cm³ is used when describing organ sizes, tumor volumes, or syringe capacities. In mechanics, engine displacements (e.g., "1500 cc") use cubic centimeters instead of liters, even though 1000 cm³ = 1 liter. The cm³ bridges small-scale measurements with scientific precision, making it indispensable across biology, chemistry, and automotive engineering.
